Keep private comment follow-up focused

Private-team comments can carry sensitive work context. Let Notis query a consented full name and return the result within the team's run-report flow.

Trigger

Private Team Comment Created

Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).

Action

Query Gender by Full Name

Tool to determine gender from a full name. Extracts the first valid name token and queries the GenderAPI.io single-name endpoint. Use when you have a full name and want to infer likely gender.

Why this helps

Private work can require careful follow-up, but extra lookup steps make it harder to stay focused and consistent.

  • Keep a name lookup within the private-team review workflow.
  • Reduce separate research tasks for authorized teammates.
  • Make the uncertain nature of the result explicit.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and GenderAPI.io to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to query a full name in a private-team comment only when consent is recorded and report the inference for authorized human review.
  • 3Select the Linear Private Team Comment Created trigger and choose an appropriate run-report channel.
  • 4Test with one real consented private-team comment and verify the report is limited to the intended channel.

Questions about this workflow

Who can see the run report?

Choose a channel appropriate for the private team's information and access controls.

Is the returned inference verified?

No. It is a prediction from a name and may be inaccurate; keep it as an optional review hint.
